Great site and perfect for York sightseeing

Great site and friendly welcome, the wardens couldn’t have been more helpful. Plenty to see and do, good bus routes if you don’t want to move your outfit. City is within easy walking distance. Spotless facilities, nearby pub and local shops accessible from the back gate of the site. The early arrival brigade were out in force again on my day of arrival, the queue just after 1pm was long and completely blocked the approach road. Quite a few had arrived by 12:50. It mattered because the people trying to get out before 1pm from the park next to the site (12 cars) couldn’t get through. A few of us did manage to back up sufficiently to leave the narrowest part of the road clear but they still had to wait for a dozen or so units to clear the entrance. It really is about time the club took action against early arrivals, there is absolutely no need.

Outstanding site and Club team

York Rowntree is an outstanding site. Well located for the city as well as walks and cycle rides. The highlight for us was the welcome given by Eddie when we arrived and witnessed over our five days with many other arrivals. Warm, friendly and extremely cheerful. He recommended an excellent cycle route and dealt so well with any issues in a calm, friendly manner eg driving more than 5mph ....... not bossy but quietly authorative. So present and friendly throughout our stay. He and the rest of the team were brilliant and deserve a big thank you.

Well done wardens re. early arrivals

I would endorse previous comments about the site and its location. In addition, from our pitch we had a front seat view of the entrance barrier and how the wardens dealt with people trying to beat the 1pm arrival time. I do wonder why a strict adheral to the arrival time is necessary at some sites but it is essential here because of the narrowness of the approach roads to the site and the club makes this clear in the information about the site so there is really no excuses for people who try and arrive before 1pm. We watched a unit arrive at 12.40pm and were made by the wardens to go back out of the site. Somebody else arrived at 12.50pm by which time the wardens sensibly decided that it would be too difficult to make the people leave the site ( which involves going round half the site on the one way system ) in the time left to 1pm but they made the people concerned wait at the barrier until 1pm before allowing them in. So well done wardens for the way they dealt with what can often be an awkward situation. For the benefit of dog owners, note that the adjacent Rowntree Park is a pleasant area for dog walks but dogs must be on leads and the park gates do not open until 8am. The closing time varies but seems to be after dark; when we were at the site ( April 17th to 20th ) the gates closed at 10pm which was well after dark. You can gain access to the park via a gate at the back of the site but you must take with you the key you receive on arrival to unlock and lock the gate. If you are on one of the pitches near the front of the site as we were, it is easier to go out of the main suite entrance and walk along the riverside track to the park car park and enter the park there.

First big trip in our Moby

Fantastic site to visit York. Lovely, clean campsite on the lovely River Ouse. Easy access to the city. Excellent instructions (via the club) to get to the campsite Thank you for making our first excursion a memorable one!! We booked for 5 nights, but 3 would have been enough.

Great site for visiting York

Returned again to York Rowntree, most I’ve ever paid this time, but it’s an easy walk in to the centre and the car can stay where it is, so no parking fees, bus tickets or taxis required. Lovely facilities as always.

Brilliant location for visiting York. Yes it was expensive but no hassle of having to park, chain up bikes, work out public transport etc. For a city centre site it was quiet and peaceful.

Great site but now way overpriced !

Visited this site a few times and found the site well laid out with friendly staff and great facilities. Only a short walk into town. I would have liked to see the book in time earlier than 1pm as half the day has gone by then, 11am would have been much better as that gives you more time in York. The first time we went the price was reasonable for a city site £37 but it has now gone up to £58 for members ! Will not be visiting again and to be honest if prices are going up this much we will be cancelling our membership. Shame as it is a great site but there is others near by at more than half the price.

central location

We stayed here for a second time and love the location in the centre of York. It is expensive compared to others which are relatively close to York but the convenience is worth it in our opinion and so peaceful which is surprising given the location. Follow the instructions in the handbook to reach the site not satnav

Fantastic location, but at a price

We've been regular visitors to York, using Rowntree Park as our base since becoming members over 8 years ago, but unfortunately this will probably be one of our last visits due to the prohibitive high nightly costs of the site especially when there are at least two alternatives further down the road for almost half the price, even taking in the cost of bus/taxi travel to the town centre if required
